Description: | A complete cast lead alloy token of late Medieval to early Post Medieval date, circa AD1400-1700. The token is sub-circular in plan and irregular in section. The face of the token has a raised cast design which is hard to discern but possibly depicts a human figure. The reverse has a circular depression which follows the perimeter of the token. The surface of the token had a mid grey / light green patina and is worn as a result of movement in the plough soil. Catagorized as Powell type 13 - an abstract design which may actually represent objects. Lead tokens were used throughout the Medieval and Post Medieval periods as a substitute for low denomination currency.Diameter: 20.47mm. Thickness: 3.19mm. Weight: 6.15g.
